Reliable , Fast, Basic router
I was a bit skeptical about linksys when I bought this router because of the problems with my previous router which was also from linksys. ( that one slowed down my connection from 20Mbps to less than 8 mbps even with the wired connection )I wanted a basic router with WiFi for my home network. And this one just suits my needs.My personal laptop is still running on an old Wireless G connection, but needed a wireless N connection so that I can connect my official one on the faster network for VPN. The first thing I did was to verify that the router is not slowing down my network. I went to [...] and verified that the speed remain same with and without the router. Even with wireless I could get ~20Mbps download speed, which is quite good. Netflix and youtube was playing pretty good even in HD mode without any stutter at all. Setup was pretty straight forward since I am familiar with configuring routers like this. Since the wireless network was secured by default, and I didnt know the network password for that, I had to use a wired connection for the initial setup. Other than that everything was smooth and I was done with the setup in a few minutes.Pros:+Easy setup+Fast connection+Good signal strength to reach all corners of the house+Decent looks with a modern touch in design+Not so expensive as the other routers which claims to be "high end". You don't really need them unless you are a heavy network user.+Internal Antenna. Looks better.Cons:- No Gigabit ethernet- There should be some configurable power features which can turn off the network at night when no one is using it. Considering this is running 24x7, this can reduce the power consumption and life of the unit. I dont think this is a big deal. Should be doable with a firmware update.- No DD-wrt support. Not a big deal for most users- Don't see an option to enable Higher priority for an ethernet port. This would be a plus since you can connect your blue ray player of any other multimedia device to a fast port and make sure the movies from netflix and youtube are not stuttering.

Trash it!!!!
I have been trying for the last week to set this spaceship looking piece of garbage up! Called customer service and nothing but a busy signal. Emailed all they did was send me to their site. I even Skyped them and they gave me the same answer and have not helped it. Did I mention it was someone in China that helped me. Their English was good but....I got frustrated typing over and over my problem and not talking to some one to walk me trough the steps because my router was not connecting. I have set up other people routers before and I am the go to person when their computer needs fixing or setting up and for the love of steak and potatoes I had no idea with this router was doing or what it was trying to do.PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! It seems like a hit and miss item. I would have giving this rating a shatter star that I'd just nuked.P.S. Just came back from buy a router from Office Max and it was simple to set up other than waiting for a week and no help.

Very Good "Starter" N Router - Easy setup, Okay gaming.
It is a great router. Thin and light compared to my old Linksys G Router.As far a Cisco/Linksys; wouldn't go anywhere else, reliable, nice, last forever.My previous Linksys G lasted 7 years (still works), even did pretty good with gaming.Now for the E1000, it is a good starter. It was easy to setup, however still don't know how to turn off the "guest feature", it has an open wireless connection to my internet Although they can't access my LAN, they still can use my bandwidth.So easy-of-us is okay as far as advanced settings.Once you get it hooked up and run the CD, you don't have to touch anything except the reset button every once and awhile (maybe).As far as gaming, it is pretty good. I would recommend you hard wire a gaming console though, or upgrade to the E3000.As I said it is a great starter router, or for families with laptop or wireless devices. But for heavy usage like constant downloading and gaming, get the E3000.If you download a fair amount of stuff and want to go the extra step for a little bit more money, I highly recommend the E2000. I personally would of got the E2000, but I'm going to college and for what my parents do this is perfect for a great price.But would never recommend anything outside of Cisco/Linksys. You will never be dissatisfied with their products.Some go for looks and functionality, I go with reliability and performance. Like I said their reliable so you probably will never have to access the control panel.I'll give this router a easy 7-8 year life span.

Works perfectly, easy to install
I bought this router 6 months ago to replace a refurbished router that kept acting up. I have moved since I bought this, so I have had to install it in two different houses. At my old house, my set-up was cable modem-wireless router-Vonage-desktop computer. We lived in a 2,000 sq ft 2-story townhouse and never had a problem with a weak signal.At my new house, I no longer have a desktop, instead I have cable modem-wireless router-Vonage and it all works on two laptops and a wireless printer. Installation is fast and easy. Linksys customer support is very good. After one very bad electrical storm that blew out my network, the Linksys rep spent nearly an hour on the phone with me re-setting everything. She was very knowledgeable and helpful. I have never had a problem since. Plus, the router is quite attractive, kind of like a flying saucer.
